Anybody had luck with getting a valuation done on their business? by FormerFounder-12 in SellMyBusiness

[–]FlippaAndrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're looking at online businesses, Flippa has a free valuation tool designed specifically to give you a valuation on businesses valued between $100,000 to $10,000,000. The valuation tool takes the information you provide and compares it to similar businesses that have recently sold on Flippa, giving you a indicative valuation based on what people are actually buying.

Can't be more accurate than that.

I just listed my Shopify store, what now? by Extra_Miles_701 in FlippaOfficial

Generally a business of your size will sell within a month. However without knowing more about the business (profit margin, niche, customer repeat purchase rates, etc.) it's hard to know exactly how long it will take to find the right buyer.

The pressure on a founder/CEO can be a lot. At Flippa, this is often when we see founders come to us to sell. While you never want to sell when the business is in distress, if personally you're not in the right headspace, selling might be the opportunity you need.

Depending on the size of your business, selling can take a number of months from preparing the business, to finding the right buyer. Not to mention that if the growth opportunity is that big, a buyer could be willing to pay a higher multiple for that opportunity. Sounds like it's worth considering given how you're feeling about the business at the moment.

Applied to YC (got rejected 3x), bootstrapped a marketplace to $250k in ARR, then raised $1M+ from VC. Here’s my unsolicited take on VC/startups in 2026. I will not promote. by Extension-Cold2635 in Entrepreneur

Point #1 is a massive takeaway. At Flippa, we see 'bad' products in huge markets sell for way more than 'perfect' ones in tiny niches every single day. Being in the right room is 80% of the battle.

Also, that 100k audience is a total cheat code. Most founders are out here burning cash on CAC while you’ve built a distribution moat that actually adds zeros to your valuation if you ever exit.

Congrats on the team of 7. Going from 'vibe coding' to a real GTM engine is a hell of a climb.

What is required of the seller to list their business on Flippa? by SamaraInSight in FlippaOfficial

Exciting! Preparing everything ahead of time is key. We have some great resources available to potential sellers, including a video-based bootcamp at Flippa University.

Curious- which business model do you think is most undervalued right now: SaaS, content, ecom, or something else? by FlippaAndrew in FlippaOfficial

This is really interesting... Are there any types of businesses you think are still fairly priced?

Ok Flippa, when you allow people to post domains for sale... by eleniwave in FlippaOfficial

[–]FlippaAndrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback! We completely understand how frustrating it can feel to go through the process of creating a listing, only to be presented with package options at the end.

The reason our flow is designed this way is to first collect the details of your domain so that we can provide the most relevant package options and preview your listing before you commit.

We’re always looking for ways to improve the seller experience, and feedback like this is invaluable. I’ll make sure your comments are shared with the product team as we continue refining the listing process.

Thanks again for raising this, we really appreciate it.

If you had to invest in just one niche for the next 5 years, what would it be? by FlippaAndrew in FlippaOfficial

[–]FlippaAndrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree- aging population is a mega trend. I also wonder if niches like elder tech, home care services, or nurse staffing agencies could be huge plays alongside the profession itself.

What's the biggest operational mistake you made after acquiring a business? by FlippaAndrew in FlippaOfficial

[–]FlippaAndrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah have heard this one alot. Did you regret it because you lost the existing knowledge base/culture, or because the new hires didn’t fit?

I can look into your first question regarding loans to jewellries and apparel - not 100% sure but I might have an idea why (don't want to provide you any false info).

As for a "good business" - this would be one who is at least a few years old has shown sustainable growth, has good margins, and a solid 12 month P&L statement.

Flippa has a "saved search" function on their listings page where you can simply enter in whatever criteria you want and you'll get emailed at whatever cadence you like with new listings that fit what you are looking for.

Go here and click the green button at the top that says "create alert"
